L. C. Hughes, of the Star, goes after the scalp of Governor Zulick, in his last issue. The governor has used the editor of the Star in most shameful manner, and the Star is taking its turn to square old accounts. The only difference be. tween the two men is, that Hughes has resided in the Territory for some six teen years, and has labored earnestly for to build up the many thriving in dustries of the Territory, while Zulick on the other hand, during all these years was ward striker back in New Jersey. Hughes has served his party and the people loyslly and well, whilst Zulick was iu Nacosari defrauding laboring men of their hard earned wages. Zulick is re- warded for his back door fealty to the New Jersey Democracy by the highest position in the Territory. Hughes is rewarded by Zulick with neglect and contumely for hIs many and his arden, services in the ranks of the Arizona Pioneers. Time makes all things equal, the power that made it possible for Zulick to impose upon the people of Arizona, twill be hurled from its throne and amidst the shattered wreck. Down will go the New Jersey importation.

''My niece tells me you are teaching

The district used to be large; how
many scholars have you canistered.
The question being of such nature

ceal his amusement behind q violent tit
of coughing.

a favorable opportunity for giving a

THE MATCH INDUSTRY.

Millions Invested In the Manufacture Of
the Little Lucifers.
A match is small thing, but in the
manufacture of matches one of the
great corporations of this country has
grown up. Itoriginated in a combina-
ton of the leading match manufac-
turers. The capital stock is some
where in the vicinity of s2QsO0O.OOO to
S25,OOO,OO0. Last year dividend OF
eight per cent. was declared on this
capitalization. The combination does.
not have entirely clear sailing. 1t is
obliged at times to put prices down to-
the cost in order to drive competitors
out of the business. Talking at the
Hoffman House recently with John
Robinson, the Chicago manager of the
company he said: ''They have got.
matches down to fine point in Michi-
gan. They are selling three boxes
that is, 900 matches, for two cents.
There was little factory started in
that State. Matches were then selling
at $3.50 a case. They put down the
price little and we were obliged to-
meet them. They kept running down
and we kept meeting them until it got,
down to $1.25 case. Then we took
the initiative and dropped to 81. The re-
tailers had stocked up at from 81. Is to-
$1.75, which were thought bottom
prices. Now they had to get rid of the
matches at any sacrifice. and they
began to cut. When they had slasheds
around to the dollar limit one man..
who had been losing trade by the drive
on matches, put his down to three
boxes for two cents. That is So cents,
a case, or four cents less than he can.
duplicate them for. The other dealers
offered to buy out his entire stock, but
he wouldn't sell He saw his trade
coming back with the sale of matches
at that price" 1t struck me in this,

While dashing f-lriously along sud-
denly felt myself sink into the earth
up to my arm-pits. At the same in
slant heard down in the ground the
shrieks of human beings and
children. l felt hands clutch at my
legs and naked human bodies pressing
against them. l uttered no sOund-I
was too much frightened. l held my
breath and shrank within myself.
Every instant expected to feel a knife
or spear thrust into my body. My
feet were on the ground, and without
knowing what was doing. l gave a
strong push with my breast. Finding
that something was giving way, l
plunged forward and up a steep slope
of two or three feet. when found my
self bounding like a deer across the
level meadow with great cOntrivance

lips and extending yard or more on
all sides. l looked for all the world as
if 1 had donned huge hoped

halt, in order to disengage myself from
the singular machine hanging upon
me, cast my eyes backward and saw
an old woman and three or four naked
childred scrambling out of the hole
from which l had just made my escape.
Yelling at the top Of their voices. they
dashed away as fast as their legs would
carry them. making for the nearest
hills. BY the time l had pushed my
basket skirt down to my heels and
stepped out of it, l saw dozen or
more black heads emerging from the
earth in my immediate neighborhood.
Seeing the shaggy heads popping up

the ground too much exhausted to

STYLISH MILLINERY.
Graceful Shapes in Large Round Hate
Gypsies, Turbans, Etc.

Gypsies, Turbans, Etc.
Fresh importations of millinery for
early summer show many more models
in large round hats, gypsies and grace
full shapes in modified English walking
hats, turbans and high crowned Span
ish styles. Still the milliners say that
the experience of past seasons is again
repeated, and that the Princesse bon
net, the little fish-wife poke and the
capotS are still first choice for dressy
wear; even for young ladies beautiful
models being exhibited, made wholly
of the finest flowers. and trimmed in
front with high lily-of-the-valley al
grettes. Numerous betwitching little
French capotes will again be worn
without strings, and composed of a
medley of lace flowers and fancy gauze.
Some of these have certainly a decided
''Frenchy'' look. and yet it can not be
denied. that coming from the hands of
skilled Partisan, and worn by suita-
bic youthful person. the effect of the
capotc is attractive. Two-toned fancy
straws are much used for dress
hats by noted milliners. Avery stylish
model in English walking-hat shape Is
made of d6ve-color and dark blue saCin
braid in lace design. The rolling briIo
at each side is faced with dark blue vel
vet. and the trimming consists OF dove
colored corded silk and dark blue vel
vet, arranged in heavy folds and tower
ing loops, the latter run through with
costly silver pins.-M. y. Post

A just Word for Representative SAWYER.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: word of
honest praise for Representative Sawyer is not
amiss at this time, especially in view Of the
worse than wasted weeks which covered the
late session of Congress. What one man could
do to fulfill the obligation resting on Congress
in the interest of the community he has done.
A member Of the Committee ON Invalid PEN
siOns, his work upon that Committee was
thorough, efficient and in the interest of the
loyal men who gave themselves for the cause
OF liberty nor meanwhile were any OF his more
special duties TO his constituents neglected
Judge Sawyer is the earnest, sympathetic and
Just friend of the Union soldier. Devoid Of
all bitterness toward those who certainly were
the enemies of our country, he is az the same
time free from all that sentiment which glOFies
over treason, and stands the soldiers Of both
sides shoulder to shoulder to be equally adj
mired, honOred and rewarded Ia his efforts
70 obtain just recognition for the Union soldiers
claim upon the country, he delegates his work
to no one. He goes personally and frequently
to the Pension Office, and knows well how 20
meet the peculiar devices familiar to officials
for putting off claims of soldiers. He has
never been known to refuse audience to his con-
stituents Not only does his kindly courtesy
extend to his friends, but his generosity is
proverbial, and many who never saw his dis
trict have profted by his help. He is not in
any contemplate way a reSpecter Of persons.

more respected than those of the rich and pow
erful.-A CONSTITUENT, Washington, ID. O..

!"ANoTHER step towards Cancellation and
burial of the past" has been taken by the
erection at Lexington, KY, Of statue of
John C. Breckenridge, whose principal claim
to fame is that as Vice-President OF the
United States he did all that he could to
promote the secession conspiracy; that he
left his seat in the Senate to command q
division of rebel troops; that he was badly
beaten in an assault on the Union soldiers
in Baton Rouge; that his command was torn
to pieces by the Union artillery at Stone
River; that he was beaten back at Chieka-
manga; that he helped defeat Sigers troops
at Newmarket, and shared in the terrible
thrashing which Sheridan gave Early. After
the war he was so disguised with the result
that he left the country, but came back three
years later. There are no monuments raised
in Kentucky to the memory of Nelson, Jack
son, Rousseau and others of her gallant sons
who fought against Breckinridge's treason.
The young Kentuckian sees the highest
honOrs paid to the man who tried to destroy
the country, while the men who helped save
ii are forgotten.
